Participants with treatment-resistant depression took antidepressant medication followed by a series of up to six IV infusions of ketamine. The overall response rate at the end of the study was 70.8%.
Results from the 2024 National Survey Investigating Hallucinogenic Trends (NSIHT) showed that ketamine improved the mental health of 52.7% of adults (2 million).
A study of individuals with severe depression showed that significant improvement in depression, anxiety, and illness severity occurred immediately one hour after a single dose, and this effect was sustained with repeated six doses over 2 weeks.
Several studies support ketamine use in combination with psychotherapy, also known as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).
Clinical research continues to show that ketamine can help improve various mental health conditions and their symptoms. Talk to your doctor about whether KAT is right for you.
